Adobe plans to issue Acrobat Reader ‘security update’ next week

According to the latest prenotification security advisory from Adobe, next week, the company plans to issue a ‘security update’ for Adobe Reader X (10.1.2) running on Windows, Linux and Macintosh.

Adobe’s products are under permanent fire from malicious cybercriminals, exploiting known vulnerabilities in Adobe’s products, who succeed, primarily relying on the fact that end and corporate users are not patching in a timely manner.

According to third-party reports, end and corporate users are constantly exposed to online risks, due to the fact that they fail updating their Adobe software and browser plugins, potentially exposing themselves to the threats posed by web malware exploitation kits, such as the BlackHole exploit kit for instance.
